Pursuant to the Pipeline Act, AS § 42.06.055, et seq., and 3 AAC 48.275(a), Kuparuk Transportation Company ("KTC") hereby files a request to change its tariff rates for the intrasta,te transportation of crude petroleum. KTC requests that the proposed tariff rate changes take effect on May 16,2010, which complies with the thirtyday filing requirement of AS § 42.06.390(b). The tariff change is shown on the 6th Revised Sheet No.5 canceling the 5th Revised Sheet No. 5 for Kuparuk Transportation Company's Tariff No. 307. The proposed rates are as follows:
ITEM FROM TO PROPOSED RATE
3.1 Kuparuk Pump Station 1 $0.264
River Trans Alaska
Unit Pipeline System
3.3 Milne Point Pump Station 1 $0.193
Pipeline Trans Alaska
Connection Pipeline System
Pursuant to 3 AAC 48.270, KTC tariff rate revision described herein is transmitted to you for filing. The effect of this rate change is to increase rates. The projected effect on KTC revenues for each rate is as follows:

TOTAL $ 1,404,374 $ 1,404,374 $ 1,874,239
The shippers affected by the tariff are all KTC intrastate shippers (which is typically fewer than five shippers). The proposed tariffs will not result in the tennination ofan existing service.
KTC is filing the infonnation required by 3 AAC 48.275(a) ("Section 275(a)") in support ofits proposed rates, which rates will be in effect from May 16, 2010 forward (the "forward looking period"). Also, as required by the Commission and discussed further below, KTC is submitting herewith an additional Section 275(a) to support its currently existing rates for the period from April 1, 2009 through May 15, 2010, in which KTC existing rates have been made interim and refundable down to a stipulated refund floor (the "interim period"). To clarify, KTC is only proposing one change to its filed rates, which will take effect May 16, 2010. The second Section 275(a) filing is submitted to comply with the Commission's requirement that KTC defend its existing rates for the interim period in response to a complaint filed by the State of Alaska in Docket No. P-0811. KTC is also filing a revised tariff this same day with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") to raise its interstate rates effective May 16,2010.
Overview of KTC Existing and Proposed Rates KTC transports crude oil from origins at the Kuparuk River Unit ("KRU") and the interconnection with the Milne Point Pipeline to Pump Station 1 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System ("TAPS"). KTC existing rates are $0.198 for movements from the KRU and $0.142 for movements from Milne Point.
KTC existing rates are the product of a settlement agreement between KTC and the State of Alaska. When KTC began operating in October 1984, it initially charged a rate of $0.69 per barrel for movements from the KRU to TAPS. It reduced that rate to $0.61 per barrel in December 1984 and also filed a rate of $0.55 per barrel for crude oil originating at the interconnection to the Milne Point Pipeline. Those rates were protested by the State at both the FERC and the predecessor agencies of this Commission. Ultimately, KTC and the State reached parallel settlements at both the FERC and this Commission's predecessor (the "KTC Settlements") that resolved the original rate litigation.
The KTC Settlements resulted in agreed-upon rates for past periods for refund purposes as well as forwardlooking settlement rates (originally $0.21 per barrel for shipments from KRU with inflation adjustments as pennitted by the settlement). The settlement was a "black box" settlement in which the parties agreed to a rate (along with certain inflation adjustments) without agreeing on a fonnula for generating that rate. The KTC Settlements remained in place until the State exercised its right to tenninate them in July 2008. The final rates filed pursuant to the KTC Settlements, which became effective January 1,2006, continue to be the existing rates on KTC. See Kuparuk Transp. Co., .order No. P-08-11 (3) at 5 (Feb. 26, 2009).

TARIFF ADVICE LETTER NO. TL4S-J07
On December 1, 2008, the State filed a complaint against KTC existing intrastate rates. The complaint was docketed as Docket No. P-08-11 and consolidated with KTC pending request to change depreciation rates in Docket No. P-08-5. Kuparuk Transp. Co., Order No. P-08-11(1) (Dec. 10,2008); Kuparuk Transp. Co., Order No. P-08-1l(4) (April I, 2009). Pursuant to a stipulation entered into between the State, KTC and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and approved by the Commission, the existing intrastate rates became interim and refundable on April I, 2009. Order No. P-08-11(4) at 3. The stipulation provided that KTC would file new forward-looking rates on April IS, 201 0, and that the existing rates would remain interim and refundable until the date immediately prior to the date when the new forward-looking rates are suspended and the Commission establishes new temporary rates equal to the filed rates. I The stipulation provided that any refunds for the interim period would be limited to the difference between the filed rates and $O.IOS per barrel for KRU movements and $0.075 per barrel for Milne Point movements.
The stipulation further provided that on April IS, 2010, KTC would submit a Section 27S(a) filing defending its existing rates for the interim period and a Section 27S(a) filing supporting the new forward-looking rates. The stipulation provided that a 2009 test year would apply to the forward-looking period. Id. The Commission ruled that a 2008 test year would apply to the interim period. Kuparuk Transp. Co., Order No. P-08-11(7) (Dec. 22,2009). As discussed below, the Section 27S(a) filings submitted herewith conform to those requirements.
Section 275(a) Presentations In accordance with the Commission's regulations and the Commission-approved stipUlation discussed above, this filing includes the schedules required by Section 27S(a) for both the interim period and the forward-looking period as supported by the testimony of the following:
Joseph C. Falcone (T-n Mr. Falcone, a Commercial Supervisor with responsibility for KTC, describes the ownership and operations of KTC and the costs incurred by KTC during the applicable periods. Mr. Falcone also discusses KTC throughput for the applicable periods.
Matthew A. Petersen (T -2) - Mr. Petersen, an expert regulatory consultant, describes KTC costs, accounting processes and financial information and presents the adjusted test year costs of service for KTC for the applicable periods.
Dr. Bruce H. Fairchild (T-3) - Dr. Fairchild, an expert economist, presents the cost ofcapital for KTC as calculated under Commission precedent.
Dr. Michael J. Webb (T-4) - Dr. Webb, an expert regulatory economist, presents KTC revenue requirements and rate calculations for the applicable periods in this case, applying the Commission's regulations and precedents and using the data supplied to him by the other KTC witnesses. Dr. Webb also sponsors the schedules required under Section 27S(a).
I KTC is filing its proposed forward-looking rates with a May 16, 2010 effective date. Thus, pursuant to the Commission-approved stipulation, KTC forward looking rates will be suspended and the Commission will establish temporary rates equal to the proposed forward-looking rates as of that date. Since temporary rates will be established equal to the proposed forward-looking rates, it is KTC understanding that neither KTC nor its shippers will be required to escrow any difference between the temporary rates and the filed proposed rates. See AS 42.06.400(c).

TARIFF ADVICE LETTER NO. TL45-J07
Attached to this Tariff Advice Letter as Schedule 1 is a list of the schedules, testimony, exhibits and other information submitted with this presentation.
KTC Section 275(a) filings begin with the actual costs for each applicable test year as recorded in KTC books and records. The nature of those costs is described in the testimony of Mr. Falcone (T -1). KTC then made certain adjustments to the actual test year data to develop an appropriate normalized test year for each applicable period (e.g., removing out-of-period costs, replacing accruals with cash and amortizing non-recurring costs). The adjustments required to develop the normalized test years for each applicable period (except for known and measurable changes) are described in the testimony of Matthew A. Petersen (T-2). KTC then adjusted the 2008 test year data to account for a known and measurable change related to additional plant placed in service in 2009. KTC adjusted the 2009 test year data to account for known and measurable changes related to (1) additional plant to be placed in service in 2010, (2) declining throughput and (3) rate case litigation costs. The facts related to these known and measurable changes are discussed in the testimony of Mr. Falcone. The ratemaking treatment ofthese facts is addressed in the testimony of Dr. Webb.
Capital Additions As ~iscussed in the testimony of Mr. Falcone, there have been several large capital projects on KTC in recent years. The three most significant projects were required to comply with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations requiring all pipelines to undergo regular integrity inspections. The first major project involved the replacement of five miles of 12-inch pipe with 18-inch pipe on the western portion of the KTC system to facilitate inspection by smart pigs. The new 18-inch line was placed in service on July 18, 2009, at a cost of approximately $43 million. An additional $1 million in property was also placed in service to reflect replacement of line pipe and fittings during 2009. The second major project involves installing pig launchers and receivers on the ten-mile 18-inch portion of the line. That project is scheduled to be completed in July 2010, and is expected to cost approximately $18 million. The final major project involves the installation of a new section of pipe at the interconnection with Pump Station 1 of TAPS.
The original facilities at this connection were encased in concrete and involved various bends in the pipe, which meant that the pipe could not be inspected with either a smart pig or ultrasonic testing. KTC is replacing that section of pipe with a 672-foot section that can accommodate ultrasonic testing. That project will be completed during the scheduled TAPS shutdown on June 19, 2010. The cost of that project is expected to be approximately $13 million. Two other projects discussed by Mr. Falcone also involve additional capital that will be placed in service by May 2010. As discussed in the testimony of Dr. Webb, KTC accounts for these significant property additions in two ways. First, KTC uses an end-of-year 2008 rate base for the interim period and an end-of-year 2009 rate base for the forward-looking period.
Consistent with the Commission's regulations, KTC Section 275(a) filing shows a 13-month average rate base for both periods. The Commission, however, permits the use of other rate base methods if they are appropriate and supportable. Section 275(a) (9). Here, as Dr. Webb discusses in his testimony, the use of an end-of-year rate base is appropriate for both the interim period and the forward-looking period to make each rate base representative of the period during which the applicable rates are in effect. Second, KTC adjusted the 2008 endof-year rate base to account for the new plant related to the first DOT compliance project that went in service in July 2009 and the additional $1 million in capital related to the other 2009 project. KTC also adjusted the 2009 end-of-year rate base to account for the new plant that will be placed in service by July of 20 I O. Again, as Dr. Webb discusses, these adjustments are appropriate to develop rates that are representative of the periods in which they are in effect.

TARIFF ADVICE LETTER NO. TL4S-307
Throughput As Mr. Falcone discusses in his testimony, KTC throughput is anticipated to decline by approximately 11 percent in 2010. Dr. Webb explains that it is appropriate to adjust the 2009 test year throughput to account for this change in order to make the forward-looking rates representative of the period when they will be in effect.
Depreciation The amount of depreciation expense is shown on the Section 275(a) filings for the applicable periods. As described above, KTC existing rates are based on a settlement agreement between KTC and the State. Since the agreement was a "black-box" settlement that simply set certain rate levels, it did not contain any agreed-upon depreciation method. Despite the black-box nature of the settlement, the State claims the settlement rates were based on a unit-of-throughput depreciation methodology. Without conceding this issue, KTC has detennined to use the same depreciation method for past periods that the State proposes in order to minimize the issues in controversy.
For the period from January 1, 2007 forward, KTC depreciation expense levels are based on a depreciation study filed by KTC with the Commission on March 5, 2008, in Docket No. P-08-5. As explained above, that docket was consolidated with the Commission's investigation of KTC existing rates in Docket No. P-08-11. The Depreciation Study was prepared by Gannet Fleming to detennine the appropriate depreciation rates for use in preparing KTC annual RCA Report. KTC asks the Commission to approve this study and approve the depreciation rates and expense levels contained in this rate filing as of January 1, 2007, as requested in KTC application. KTC filed the same study with the FERC, and on March 18, 2008, FERC approved KTC request to change its depreciation rates for FERC purposes effective January 1,2007.
Dismantlement, Removal and Restoration ("DR&R") KTC has a legal obligation under the State Right-of-Way Agreements to perfonn DR&R of the system when it reaches the end of its useful life. In the 1980's, the DR&R obligation was stipulated to be $11 million in 1986 dollars, with DR&R expected to occur in 2011. To the extent a DR&R aJlowance was reflected in KTC prior tariff rates, which were established by settlement, the $11 million figure would have been the basis for that allowance. It is apparent that KTC will be in operation past 2011. KTC therefore commissioned URS Corporation, an environmental and engineering company located in Anchorage, to perfonn an analysis of the KTC DR&R obligation. URS's estimate is that KTC will incur $36.3 million in 2008 dollars for DR&R to be perfonned in 2034. A copy ofthe URS report is included at Exhibit JCF-6.
Rate Design After calculating the total revenue requirement for each applicable nonnalized test-year, KTC allocated the revenue requirement between the two origins (KRU and Milne Point) using the appropriate volume data for each period (2008 test year volumes for the Interim Period and 2009 test year volumes adjusted for known and measurable changes for the Forward-Looking Period) and the standard fully allocated cost rate design methodology, which the Commission has used for oil pipelines. See, e.g., Amerada Hess Pipeline Corp., Order No. P-97-4(151) at 159-60 (Nov. 27, 2002); Amerada Hess Pipeline Corp., 1 APUC 606, 611 (1980); 6 APUC 401, 405 (1984). Under the fully allocated cost rate design methodology used by the Commission in past oil pipeline cases, costs are separated into two categories: (1) "distance-related costs," which vary with the distance oil is transported on the system (e.g., pipeline capital costs, fuel and power, maintenance costs, etc.) and (2) "non-distance-related costs," which do not vary with distance traveled (e.g., management costs, overhead expense, etc.). Distance-related costs are allocated on a barrel-mile basis (that is, based on the volume transported from either KRU or Milne Point multiplied by the miles from the applicable origin). Non-distancerelated costs are allocated on a barrel basis, meaning that each barrel on the system bears an equal share of the non-distance-related costs. Because the bulk of the costs are distance-related, the resulting rates are generally
- 5
TARIFF ADVICE LETTER NO. TL4S-307
proportional to distance. KTC used the same rate design methodology to defend its existing rates during the interim period and to calculate and to calculate new rates.
Since the existing KTC rates are the result of a black-box settlement, it is not clear what rate design methodology, if any, was used to derive the current rates. To the extent KTC use of a fully allocated cost rate design methodology to defend its existing rates and to calculate the forward-looking rates is considered a "rate redesign," KTC submits that the rate design calculations shown on Item 4 of Exhibit Nos. MJW-2 and 3, and the narrative discussion of the rate design methodology \n Dr. Webb's testimony (Exhibit T-4) satisfY the requirements of 3 AAC 48.275(h). If the Commission deems 3 AAC 48.275(h) to require anything more than that, KTC requests that the Commission waive any such requirement, since the rate design methodology used by KTC complies with Commission oil pipeline precedent.
